[EDITOR'S NOTE 1:20PM] - I picked this up from the diary section and removed the part saying "Give up now." My own opinion issue is that I'd rather Smith not further aggravate the injury during a lost season. I don't think he should necessarily be shut down for the season, but wait until both he AND Nolan are 100% sure he's ready to return. If he misses the rest of the season, so be it. If this injury has caused some or most of his accuracy issues, sit him down for now. If this team was 7-2 maybe things would be different, but they're not. Let's contain Alex Smith/Trent Dilfer comments to THIS thread if at all possible. This would include the trust issues between Smith and Nolan and anything similar. Thanks.

Crap.

I don't have much else to say but I need to fill 300 characters so I will say this: Crap.  Smith is bad, Dilfer is worse.  Not that we had any chance to win another game all season, but with Old Man Dilf at the helm, we'll be lucky to match the, what? six first downs we had on Monday.  I might decide to not even watch.
